Simply The Best

Good Morning Bloggers!

Happy Hump Day to you all! 

In just a few hours we'll be well on the downward slope
towards the weekend! Yippee!!!

It's Wednesday &that means it's time for the new challenge at

Dude Time Doodles!

This week the theme is

"Anything Goes For A Dude!"

My card is a simple little A6 card, with a tent style opening.

The image I've used is Henry Hero from the 

Dude Time Doodles  store.

The Sentiment Ticket was a freebie ages ago from

Sentiments 4 You

The papers are from my K & Co Hopscotch Boy pad!

Such a great variety of designs! 

I've actually used just one double sided paper.

I'm sailing really close to the wind at the moment as we are redecorating 

& re-carpeting pretty much the whole house as well as 

having some other work done & I only have 

a small amount of stash out to play with!

In honour of our sponsor this week 

The Ribbon Carousel

who are offering a whopping 

$10 Gift Certificate to one lucky winner,

I have included some ribbon on my card.

I don't always do this for Dude cards but I think it looks just fine here!

Instead of a bow, I just tied a little knot.

As you can see the edges of my image, papers & sentiment ticket 

have all been distressed & inked with a little ink pad.

The ends of the ribbon have been frayed a little too!

I added a little decoration to the inside of my card.

I prefer this to a plain insert.

I hope you can find the time to play in our challenge

Dude Time Doodles this week!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Molly Cat Birdhouse

Good morning all you lovely bloggers!

Today I have a simple little card to share with you.

I made it to send to a friend just to say hello!

The image I have used is Molly Cat With Bird House

fromThe Crafty Pad Designs 

Molly & twitter are great friends!

The base of the card is a vertical A6 blank.

The image was coloured using a mix of Flexmarkers & Promarkers

The Design paper is from The Best Of British Collection

which came free with Crafts Beautiful magazine.

The inspiration for my colours came from 

Do You Stack Up #80 Cool Colours

I added some little doodled birds just for a bit of added interest.

I think all the blues, pinks & greens give this card  

a great summery feel to it!

I used a Martha Stewart Lace Doily punch to create the 

scalloped borders & punched the same border on the paper insert.

Some of the edges were inked with a little inkpad.

The only other embellishment I added was a little 

upcycled ribbon bow.

The ribbon was originally on a friends top to hold it on a hanger.
